ABSTRACT
Epidermolysis bullosa is a skin disorder that is genetically transmitted and that is manifested by the appearance of blisters, ulcers and sores on the skin and mucous membranes with the slightest touch or stroke. The diagnosis is not difficult if the doctor has dermatological experience, but its classification is complex and it is necessary to consider the clinical and genetic aspects, as well as the microscopic and laboratory evaluation. Treatment of this disease is also difficult; and necessary steps needs to be taken in order to protect patients and prevent the occurrence of injuries and complications derived from them. This report presents the case of a newborn white male, diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa, who was treated at the Teaching Hospital of Placetas.REFERENCES
